if you want me to name a striker scoring 55 goals in his first 2 years at Juve, I can't. but I can name several scoring the amount Higuain has relative to the minutes he has played, it's not that impressive.
Higuain 55 goals in 8339 minutes, goal every 151 minutes, it's literally the same number Quagliarella had for us.
Trez f.e. averaged a goal every 127 minutes throughout his career in Serie A and goal every 136 in his overall career for Juve, and that's including the 1:0 Capello years and his fading seasons under Ranieri, Ferrara and Zaccheroni.
truth is, best years are probably behind Gonzalo and he's not the type of striker I want to see growing old at Juve and he's definitely not on the wages we can afford for a 2nd fiddle player

Higgy is supposed to be that level, he's our biggest transfer ever and our biggest wages ever, am I supposed to compare him to Matri or Amauri and be happy that he's doing better than those guys? Because sure, I've no problem admitting that he's twice the striker Matri was (and 10 times the striker he is since he left Juve) and way way better than Amauri, who was like a CB playing striker. I just think it's smart to let go of him this summer if we have the chance, Gonzalo already has big problems getting into shape, I'm afraid to think what will happen in a year or two
I know Pipita has his flaws, he isn’t the best player in his position, but half of Tuz has an irrational hate of him based on his transfer fee. He is the best striker we can afford right now. If we sign Lewandowski, I’d gladly ship Higuain to Swansea City for free. If it’s a third rate striker like Morata, I’ll say hell no.
